Hoffman Estates — A Hoffman Estates woman told authorities she believes a man and a boy worked a scam on her that netted them $1,110 worth of gold jewelry from her home in the 1900 block of Fairway Court. The pair came to her door Monday morning and asked if they could look around her house, which is for sale. Once inside, the man asked the 44-year-old victim to lead him to the basement, leaving the boy upstairs. After the two left, the woman noticed that some necklaces and a bracelet were missing.
